@sapinker I'm a little surprised you're so vehemently opposed to students' desire to understand cultural privilege.

Even if
@sapinker can't see the value in this, getting White Dudes to think more clearly is always a good thing!http://goo.gl/CyJWX2 -
@distributedcog@sapinker Let's not generalise, some of us white dudes are gay, disabled, foreign, homeless, etc. -
@MrRantypants sorry I wasn't clear about conventions; borrowing from disability studies, using caps to denote socially structured privilege. -
@distributedcog Cool. Not suggesting that white and male privilege aren't everywhere, just think binary social categories can be misleading. -
@MrRantypants I agree completely. That said, there's a particular form of White Male privilege that dominates academia! -
@distributedcog Absolutely, saw Corinne Moss-Racusin speak about her PNAS study recently; shocked by widespread subtle perceptive bias

@sapinker They're campaigning for it, so who exactly is being insulted? The white middle-class man having a go at minority politics? -
-
@Biorealism Didn't realise they were in a position to implement Orwellian control mechanisms, but cheers for the insight.#missedthepoint -
@sipkeo not sure how I've missed the point. Also, from the article 1/4 were campaigning for it. The remainder are not white men.
-
@Biorealism 1/4 campaigning ≠ 1/4 in support. And no, you're right. Stupid pesky minorities oppressing everyone as usual. -
@Biorealism Also, let's not forget how apathetic the average student is. 25% is a pretty big deal. -
@sipkeo is that Pinker is quite right, from the sounds of it, these things are insulting. Not to mention creepy.http://www.thefire.org/university-of-delaware-celebrates-jan-blits-academic-freedom-award-but-why/ …

@Biorealism It's insulting if you take the privilege thing to mean 'feel guilty about who you are'. - 6 more replies
